    I have a barely used Deore XT rear deraillure. cage is pretty long 87mm. Around late 1980's.

    Had to think long and hard on how it came into my box of goodies. Came from RB-1 bridgestone bike that I purchased from a friend. She bought it but didn't ride so I bought it from her as a favor. I didn't care for 105's and the XT so I swapped out the components with shimano 600s. The bike mostly sits on a trainer with the 600 groupo.

    If the deraillure is shot, let me know. I have to check on the condition of the 105 cranks. It has the square tapered spindle thingy.


    You must be pretty tall cause the bike frame looks like a 56cm frame.

    Holy Moly- how did a bike sit in the shop unsold for that long? Nobody ever wanted it? I feel kinda bad for the bike for being all alone for that long. It's a pretty bike- and looks like it'll make a fantastic commuter.

    This is a brand new bike, price tag of $900 from 1993, then marked down to $700 but never sold and hanging in the shop attic for years. It was too gorgeous to leave there, so now it has a home with me. The shifters had been scavenged off it, but everything else was original. It's a 52 cm - my road bike is 54 cm.
    Oil is good, grease is better.
